Thank you, a very polite way to hold me accountable! This guy is a clown, no wonder he is on "clown world."
I worked in a major hospital ER and a man in his mid 20's was brought in with a chunk of his upper lip missing and powder burn all over his face. He had a thick blue rag soaked in blood he was holding over the gaping wound. He said he fell walking up some steps and hit his lip on the edge of the step and it was just a "basic fat lip" and to stitch him up so he could go home. He really needed a plastic surgeon. The truth came out when his brother arrived and a nurse overheard the conversation. His brother was a police officer and was trying to get him on the force. The injured man wanted to become a police officer so he lied in the ER, knowing a gunshot wound would be reported. This is what the nurse heard:
He was drinking and walking around his apartment twirling a .357 magnum revolver drinking vodka from a bottle. He tripped over his cat and the revolver went off, taking a chunk of his upper lip with it. His story he told to his brother was filled with expletives and anger directed towards his cat.
The kid in that video is lucky he didn't shoot himself, a family member or neighbor.
I'm sorry I'm laughing. You'd have to know some of the cops I know to realize that any one of them is this guy -- but without the cat ...
(I know it's really not funny funny but life has taught me 2 things -- 1. you can either laugh or cry and 2. I'm ugly enough without crying so I might as well laugh! )
And no offense to Evan or any of the rest of you yahoos who carry "the badge" but I'll watch a cop at the range 10 times closer than a brand new shooter. A lot of cops seem to think the firearms rules don't apply to them. I've crawled Grumpy's ass more than once and he's pretty careful for the most part. Maybe it was losing a friend when I was in the 7th grade to a gunshot that should have never happened -- too many complacent adults -- but I'm nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof around people and guns. Especially if the people are an unknown entity ... Or LE.
